         10. Chateauneuf, Keeper of the Seals of Louis XIII, when a boy of only nine years old, was asked many questions by a bishop, & gave very prompt answers to them all. At length the prelate said, "I will give you an orange if you will tell me where God is."

         21. God has been known to bring giants to their knees, weeping like babies; God has been known to take corrupt minds & give them thoughts as pure as fresh-fallen snowflakes. God has been known to take a home, torn by strife, & make it the sweetest place this side of Heaven. God has been known to take men rotten & ripe for Hell, & make them jewels in the Kingdom of Heaven. God has been known to displace hate with love, sorrow with joy, war with peace, ashes with fire. God can do all things possible, & "Father! All things are possible with Thee!"--Charles A. Wickman

         22. I am startled by an atomic explosion 250 times the power of the Hiroshima bomb. I am impressed when scientists develop instruments so powerful they can pick up the sound of galaxies in collision far out in space.

Who can express in a word or even a thousand words the magnitude & grandeur of the power of God?
